Hirex: a strong Lever alternative for growing recruiting teams
Hirex is a flexible and affordable all-in-one recruiting platform.
Lever pairs an ATS with a CRM in its TalentSuite for sourcing-led mid-market and enterprise teams, backed by a large integration marketplace.

Hirex builds AI screening, native sourcing and a customizable career site into a single product.
Quick verdict

Choose Lever if you are a sourcing-led mid-market or enterprise team that wants a mature ATS plus CRM to nurture large talent pipelines across many departments.
Where Hirex pulls further ahead
Hirex returns a graded CV fit score with a clear breakdown and scores recorded video interview answers automatically. Lever's match scoring leans mostly on third-party add-ons, and its video features transcribe and summarize live calls rather than scoring recorded answers. Hirex also includes AI LinkedIn sourcing from a plain-language brief plus a dedicated Chrome extension.
Where Lever still makes sense
Lever's strength is its mature CRM and nurture capabilities across departments and locations, plus a 200+ integration marketplace. If relationship-based outbound sourcing at scale is central to how your team hires, Lever's CRM is a real advantage.
Pricing and total cost
Lever uses custom pricing positioned for mid-market and enterprise teams, and pairing the ATS with its CRM module adds to the total. Hirex keeps pricing flat and transparent with unlimited users and AI features included by default. Public pricing changes often, so confirm current figures with each vendor before deciding.
